Puppy School

Puppy Preschool Information

At Thornbury Veterinary Hospital, our puppy classes are taught in a clean, safe, fun and welcoming environment for very young puppies. 

Puppies that have had their first vaccination and are aged between 8 – 14 weeks are eligible to attend. This is a critical period of socialisation for your puppy and ensuring positive experiences during this time is the key to a happy, well behaved and socialised dog.

Each lesson goes for approximately 45 minutes, on a weekly basis over a 4 week period. Puppy parents will be given the tools to commence training at home with positive reinforcement methods. The course will consist of socialisation, general health and wellness care, basic commands, cues and more.

 Our classes are run by two of Thornbury Veterinary Hospital’s senior nurses Chelsea and Caitlin.  Chelsea and Caitlin have a special interest and love in canine behaviour and wellness and will ensure that you and your puppy get off to the best start possible in this exciting journey!
